# Regulatory fees Some jurisdictions require you to pay an additional fee for certain products. These regulatory fees attempt to reduce these products' environmental and economic impact. In the Digital River API, this additional fee is represented by the [Fee resource](https://docs.digitalriver.com/digital-river-api-reference/2021-12-13/fees) and can consist of one of the following [types](/digital-river-api/product-management/regulatory-fees/managing-regulatory-fees.md#type): battery, packaging, copyright, e\_waste, and WEEE. You must know if your product has any required fees, and if it does, you are responsible for [creating them](/digital-river-api/product-management/regulatory-fees/managing-regulatory-fees.md#creating-a-fee). Our Tax and Compliance teams will work with you throughout the process to manage your product's regulatory fees. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
